“When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.”
Acts 5:33 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:33
The hostile reaction - 'When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them' - shows truth's polarizing effect. The Greek 'dieprionto' (cut to the heart) describes sawing-through, violent internal reaction. Unlike Pentecost's crowd whose heart-piercing led to conversion (Acts 2:37, same Greek root), this produces murderous rage. The phrase 'took counsel' (Greek 'ebouleuonto') indicates deliberate planning, not impulsive reaction. The same truth produces repentance in elect, hardening in reprobate - demonstrating double predestination.
